I love the looks & body lines of this car. I have received many compliments. The limited with ultimate package offers many features that would cost thousands more from other manufactures. Mileage started from 40 mpg to 46 mpg depending on how I drive and what gas I use but now is 37 mpg to 42 mpg. Lower octane gas with ethanol gets lower gas mileage. The vehicle is very quiet, smooth, comfortable, ride. My 40 minute commute is much more comfortable in the Sonata then in my previous 2012 Toyota Prius 4. There is a lot more room. The audio, phone, & GPS controls work well although they don't always work flawlessly with my I-phone 7. I don't always like how the car shifts. At times it shifts awkwardly in the 2nd & 3rd gears. After three years of use and at 100K mileage had random misfire on cylinder 3 that was diagnosed as a bad fuel injector. Replaced all the fuel injectors and problem was still there. I believe due to the vehicle being GDI the intake was carboned up and causing the problem. The volume switch on steering wheel broke and needed replaced. Bottom heat shield just fell off one day. I went to trade and care worth nothing. Will not buy Hyundai again. Stick to Toyota or Honda.

We originally purchased the car for my wife to drive. It quickly became her favorite car ever with the features she loved. Vented seats, blind spot warning, automatic high beams to name a few. The mileage was fantastic performing way over the estimates, 47 mpg combined. Of course, you had to drive for mileage but that isn't a problem. We pick up our new one next week since our first one was totaled by a person of questionable intelligence cutting 3 lanes of traffic on a busy road. My wife was bruised and sore, but she walked away from the wreck. The car did it's job in keeping her from further harm. I am a rather large person and am able to get into and out of the car quite easily (no tow truck or crane needed). The seats are comfortable front and rear with plenty of head and leg room. My personal vehicle is an F-150 crew cab but I don't protest taking the car on longer trips, especially at the gas pumps! We enjoyed the car so much her replacement is a twin except in color. ***14.500 mile update: Just completed a 900 mile trip to Nashville at posted speed limits and a week of in town driving. Obtained 41.9 mpg round trip.

On September 3 I brought my car in for an acceleration issue. It was determined the hybrid battery was failing. It is now October 7 and my vehicle is still in the shop because apparently there are no batteries available. They can’t even tell me when one will be available. Unless you want to own a $10,000 paper weight don’t buy this car b

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited has almost everything you could want. Things missing that could really dress it up include heated steering wheel, auto sensor wipers, and keys that remember the vehicle settings specific to the key user. But honestly, these aren't deal killers, quite obviously since I bought the car. It's a great car in regards to other luxury features and the mileage is the crown jewel. Love that mileage!!
